First, read through the directions below, then you can click on the left to see the animations made by you and your classmates!
All 3 grade levels started learning career skills in animation in the past several weeks... so compare and contrast the work that's been done so far by students in the different grades.
Remember the Guidelines! We worked on our first animation by following specific guidelines for what you should and shouldn't try to do. Look at the animations in the different classes and think about how well the works are following those guidelines. How well did your work follow them? To see the guidelines for our three animations, click here:animation_ directions_1-3.ppt
After you check out the animations, you need to click into your own class and read the directions about how to post your thoughts. You are required to post a review of at least one animation from your own class (not your own), but you are also allowed to review as many other animations as you'd like (including those from other classes/grades). Remember to use good netiquette when posting comments! No trolls or flaming allowed. You will receive an F for the review activity if you forget how to use proper netiquette! Forgotten what "netiquette" is? Then click here and review... or you can also click here and review.
